The reason I'm choosing one of these two cards is becasue it will be while before the place I ahve a credit to get the 970 for has them in stock, there are a ton of back order so I want to chose one of the two I listed.

Before just going out and recommending a GTX 970 , first ask the OP what is his other specs and what specific games does he intend to play ?

Also is it only gaming wise and no production wise ? Are you using CAD ? What resolution will you be playing on ?

These questions need to be answered before jumping and saying GTX 970 GTX 970 .

Note : GTX 970 isn't really available right now and can be as expensive as R9 290X or GTX 780ti when available.


well if hes asking us to pick between a 290X and a 780
he obviously intends to get a high end GPU
and which implies that his other specs are not an issue


It might be an issue and you don't know it , I've seen numerous amount of people who want to pair a 290x with G3258.

You need to make sure , also you've never asked about Resolution or other functionality .

I am not bashing you or the other guy , but I think we need to make a recommendation based on facts not based on what we think will suit him regardless of what he needs.

GTX 970 if you can, but if only between the two, get the R9 290X
